Friday March 26th: ‘Scripture cannot be denied’.

We cannot choose the part we want and ignore the parts that pose difficulties.

John 10: 31 – 42.

It is interesting that Jesus used the scriptures to justify his claim to be God’s Son when the Jews accused him of blasphemy for doing so. He relied on the scriptures because he said, ‘Scripture cannot be denied’.

That is such a beautiful word for us to hear, ‘Scripture cannot be denied’. If we also believe that scripture cannot be denied it means we are obligated to live the Word we read and hear. We listen to the Word of God every weekend and in some cases every day. The Word cannot be mere formality. It must shape how we think, what we believe and how we live.

Clearly we cannot use the Word as we would a buffet. We cannot choose the part we want and ignore the parts that pose difficulties. ‘Scripture cannot be denied’. It must be lived as God intends us in every context we may find ourselves. Selective listening or obeying of scripture is not an option for us.
